Rak-Sakyi shock at Caykur Rizespor! Crystal Palace will recall him...

Uçar, the technical director of the green-blue team camping in Antalya's Belek Tourism Center, told AA correspondent that they fell behind the targets they set in the first half of the league.

Uçar pointed out that in the last 3 games of the first half, they displayed a game that they could have scored more points and said, "Our biggest goal in the second half is both to improve our game and to move up from the lower ranks in terms of points. In terms of points, we will finish in the best place we want. As of now, that is our first goal."

Uçar informed that after camping in Rize for 3 days, they will continue their preparations in Antalya and will go to this city for the Ziraat Turkish Cup Group C match against Erzurumspor FK on January 14.

Explaining that the camp is generally going well, Uçar said, "The children are selflessly trying to do the best we ask of them. Our biggest desire will be to evaluate the camp in a good way and to watch Rizespor, which has made a very good start to the second half."

Jesurun Rak-Sakyi likely to return to Crystal Palace

Stating that their player Vaclav Jurecka left the team due to family problems, Uçar said that they are in search of an offensive midfielder for this reason.

Uçar stated that Jesurun Rak-Sakyi, the English player they rented from Premier League team Crystal Palace at the beginning of the season, is likely to be recalled by his team and that they can also make a transfer to the right wing if Rak-Sakyi leaves.

"We want to get out of the difficult group"

Reminding that they defeated Gaziantep FC 5-2 in the first match of Ziraat Turkish Cup Group C, Uçar said, "First of all, we want to get out of this difficult group. After we get out, we have three games left. Let's see if this is a semi-final, semi-final, final, final. My players, myself, my team and even our community attach great importance to the Turkish Cup. Our biggest desire will be to reach a goal that has not been achieved for years as of this year."

"We will play to win"

Stating that they will start the second half of the league with an away match against Göztepe, Uçar concluded his words as follows:

"Göztepe is getting incredibly good results. They play incredibly good games. The team that concedes the fewest goals in the league. The team with the toughest defense. Maybe the team with the best physical values in the league. It is always difficult away to Göztepe but we think we are a good team in general. We will play to win as we do in every match. We want to prepare for Erzurum and then Göztepe in the same way and get the result we deserve."

The Black Sea team ranked 12th with 18 points collected in 17 matches played in the first half of the Trendyol Super League.
